Outdoor Classrooms

What are Timber Tuesdays and Forest Fridays All About?

AUCP launched our outdoor classroom program in the fall of 2014, where each of our 3-5 year old classes rotate spending one Tuesday or Friday every other week at Long Branch Nature Center.

Several of the AUCP staff were inspired by a thought-provoking documentary entitled Forest Kindergarten. We are acting on this inspiration and trying to expose our older classes to more time outdoors and actually in the forest. We are fortunate that Arlington has as many green spaces as it does, and we are thankful that we are able to take advantage of this.
